REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC COSTS OF INLAND WATERWAY OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. PORTS, WATERWAYS, CARGO FORECASTING, AND INTERMODAL COORDINATION - PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11TH ANNUAL PORTS AND WATERWAYS CONFERENCE

This presentation discusses the environment degradation caused by expanding or maintaining several low use inland waterways. It suggests that the users should pay for construction, operation, and maintenance costs on the system to ensure that only efficient waterways remain open. The Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint waterway, the Alabama-Coosa waterway, and the Tennessee-Tombigbee waterway are discussed in some detail.
